How to: Edit individual Suppliers

Navigate to the INVENTORY tab and select SUPPLIERS from the drop down menu.

Locate the Supplier you wish to edit and click on their name.

On the Supplier details page, expand the Actions menu and click Edit supplier.

Make any edits that you need. You have the ability to edit:

Suppliers details

Supplier contact information

Add a new address

Add multiple addresses

Set an address as a default

Remove an address

NOTE: It is not possible to remove the default address

Click Save Supplier.

How to: Edit multiple Suppliers via CSV file

NOTE: consider the following when updating suppliers via a CSV file.

It is not necessary to pare down the data to only the items that require update. Rather, a file with a complete listing of all your suppliers will work just as well as one limited to only suppliers with updates. ShippingEasy will review the file for (1) new suppliers and (2) updated suppliers. All others will be ignored. New suppliers will be added. Update suppliers will be edited to reflect new data. An existing Supplier ID cannot be changed.

On the "Upload CSV: Supplier Import" page, map the "Source Column" to the "ShippingEasy Column". Then select Continue.

REMINDER: the Supplier ID column must be mapped for every Supplier upload. When adding new Suppliers, leave the ID blank. When updating existing Suppliers, enter the assigned ID. Learn how to find a Supplier ID.

Your file will be displayed in the "Current Uploads" section. Once ShippingEasy has finished processing the data, a green Ready button will appear. Click the button.

You'll have the option to review the data. Edit any fields that require an additional update by clicking the field. An edit dialog will appear. Once all the data looks in order, click the Complete Upload button.
